My company is acting like I betrayed them because I found a job that pays better. I’ve been underpaid for years, but they seemed shocked that I would leave. Do these people really believe culture matters more than being paid fairly? Is this a standard industry thing, or is my management just totally out of touch?

Well imo if the culture there was legitimately “better” then they would be happy you found a better paying role because making more money is better for you. Let’s stop perpetuating the idea that a “good culture” means below average wages right? lol

Companies won't hesitate to let you go, without much of a notice.

If culture was that important to the company, they would pay their people at the market rate, at least, and have good benefits to go with it.

Some companies will use the "culture" and 'family" related buzz words as a way to try to keep you to stay and continue to be underpaid, or realize that you are underpaid.

Bottom line is you do what is best for you.

The ole post resignation guilt trip...been there before. haha

Culture is important but it also doesn't pay the bills. I will take slightly less pay with better culture but everyone has a threshold for where that shifts because we all have bills to pay.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?
